Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Method for high-speed frequency-to-voltage conversion with
a minimum of ripple on the output signal over a wide input-frequency range

Disclosed is a method for high-speed frequency-to-voltage (F/V)
conversion with a minimum of ripple on the output signal over a wide
input-frequency range. Benefits include improved functionality and improved
performance.

Background

� � � � � The two best-known and most-used conventional approaches for
F/V converters are analog and digital.

Analog

� � � � � An F/V converter with
an analogue voltage output is a
conventional solution (see Figure 1). The duty cycle on the input signal
may be fixed at 50% (50% high, 50% low). Because the monostable multivibrator
(MMV) generates one pulse with a fixed width for each positive edge on the input
(Fin), the duty cycle out of the MMV varies with the frequency on the input.
Filtering (heavily) on this signal from the MMV results in a reprehensive
voltage on the output.

� � � � � In a typical design,
the pulse width of the MMV is equal to the period time of the maximum frequency
to be converted. The RC time is set to a constant frequency so that the lowest
frequency to be converted is as ripple free at output as the application
requires.

� � � � � If a wide frequency
range is required, a tradeoff must occur between the frequency range and the
response time because the RC time constant is set for the lowest frequency. The
amount of output signal ripple is proportional to the frequency of the input,
so the high frequencies are precise (ripple free). The low frequencies are
imprecise (heavy ripple).

� � � � � With this approach,
the response time for getting the high frequencies converted are extremely
large in comparison to the outcome when the RC is set for filtering only one
(high) frequency.
